    What an arse puckering moment. Both drivers did a great job in a very tricky situation. :Thumbsup:

    Yep you can reach a point when you become a passenger. He was well & truly at that point.

    I counted 4 spins...or from the other drivers perspective...a crap-load of debris coming at you at 180mph+!

    I changed my mind. Just watched the first vid again. He didn't press the clutch in till he stopped spinning. Noob. :devil:

    Ouch, "I stand corrected", he did not have the clutch in. Didn't notice that the first time I watched, thinking the motor was still running when he came to a stop. He did hold the wheel steady and held the brake well, not trying to over correct the car...
